Sleeping Pills and Memory Loss. Elderly people have more trouble sleeping than younger folks. Some causes include waking to urinate, pain due to arthritis or other inflammations and lack of exercise. Sleeping pills can help, but they have a dark side. They can cause memory loss.
Lorazepam causing memory loss Save this for later. Hi, I have a problem that I dont know how to deal with. I have noticed recently that I have started to forget things. I mean not the kind when you cannot remember what you had for lunch yesterday, but really serious stuff. I literally have black outs. It has started to affect my work. As a reason for this memory loss I think I should blame Lorazepam. I have been using this drug occasionally for the insomnia.
